DSL and Cable are different (both are high speed though). For one, cable is hooked up by threw a cable connection, DSL through something like a phone cord (only it;s bigger)

DSL CAN be faster then Cable, or the other way around. DSL is better if you want to network a bunch of computers. It's also better if everyone else around you has cable. If everyone else DOES have cable (and youdo as well) then your connection will be slower because of this. DSL however, it doesn't matter how many people around you have it, it will be the same.

My dad prefers DSL. We have 5 computers hooked up on one network trhough a server computer.

As I've said, my mom has cable and my dad DSL. To be honest, I don't notice much difference other then downloading (which I don't even notice that anymore. It use to dl a lot faster at my moms, but it doesn't anymore)
